1 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Billy Cunningham, the Great America. Welcome this Monday afternoon in 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: the tri State. The weather looks to be a little 3 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: bit better, could be ranier later in the week. Terrible weather, 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: great weather, etc. Of course, the big news is Red's 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: opening day went so poorly and so great both and 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: then of course on Friday, off, Saturday, Sunday back at it. 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: And one thing I noticed as like a brand new 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: team out there. According to Moeger there's like thirteen new players. 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: The team has flipped over completely, but the key ingredients 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: for Myers and of course better call Sal, Better call 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Sal Stewart, which is unbelievable. What's happening with him without 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: the Reds best starting pitching and Moe Welcome again to 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of all, let's deal 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: with the final four, not the Frozen four, but the 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: final four. Should they recede Obviously, the best two teams 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: left are Michigan and Arizona and Yukon and Illinois. I 17 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: loved it, by the way, when Duke lost. Should they 18 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: receive the final four? The two best teams are Michigan 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: and Arizona. What do you say? What's the most popular 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: thing about the NCAA Tournament, Unexpected things happen not anticipated. 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: The little guy beats the big guy, Yukon pulls off 22 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: a miracle down nineteen wins by one mistake mistake, And 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: what's happening in the tournament despite nil I think is wonderful. 24 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: The most popular thing about the tournament is the bracket itself. 25 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: So don't do anything that screws with the bracket. I 26 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: get a competitively speaking, sure, they should reseed. On one 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: half of the bracket you have a two seed and 28 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: a three seed. On the other half, you have a 29 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: one seed versus a one seed. Competitively speaking, yes, realistically, 30 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: don't do anything. Don't do anything that takes that piece 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: of perfection, one of the only things we have in 32 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: sports that remains perfect, which is that bracket once it's 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: filled out to sixty four. Even when it's sixty eight, 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: if you recede, then that bracket goes away and we 35 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: have something that's going to be more difficult to track. 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: So no, do not mess with what everybody loves most 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: about this tournament, which is the bracket itself. 38 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: Did you have joy when Duke lost and the way 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: they lost? Bad plays at the end, nineteen points up. 40 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: They have a twenty point whip. I think the record 41 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: is one hundred and thirty four in zero, one thirty 42 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: four in zero when a number one seed is up 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: by fifteen or more at a half. Now it's one 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: thirty four and one. Give me an update on a 45 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Yukon what happened? I love that because I'm kind of 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: a big East guy because of Xavier, and at one 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: point Savior was competitive with Yukon. No more. I love 48 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: what Dan Hurley does. The guy's incredible. But nonetheless, do 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: you take joy when Duke goes down like that? 50 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: Maybe not as much as I did when Coach k 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: was there, But yes, of course, what's a college basketball fan? 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: They are still and this is no knock or reflection 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: on any other program. I still feel like most college 54 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: basketball fans, if you Duke as the villain and they 55 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: had that game in hand yesterday, they had that game 56 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: won yesterday, and it was an epic collapse. But I 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: also think you have to give a lot of credit 58 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: to Yukon's team for figuring out ways to just sort 59 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 2: of stay in the game when it felt like Duke 60 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: was about to take it and and win the game 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: by twenty twenty five points. I'm happy for Dan Hurley. 62 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: Dan Hurley's a polarizing figure selfishly, he's a Bengals fan, 63 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: so he has been on my show to talk about 64 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 2: the Bengals. 65 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 66 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: I think there's all of us that get some sort 67 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: of perverse joy. 68 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: Out of the Duke. 69 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: Not just Duke losing, but if you remember how they 70 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: lost in the Final four last year, giving up a 71 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: nine to nothing run to Houston in a game that 72 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: felt like Duke was in control of And then yesterday, 73 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: I mean there were folks on social media who were 74 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: saying God didn't know that Duke Yukon was going to 75 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: be the second worst game of the day after the 76 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: blowout of Michigan over Tennessee, and then Yukon storms back. 77 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: It still feels like if Duke can simply take care 78 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: of the basketball after the first made free throw, I 79 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: guess the second free throw by Yukon that made it 80 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: a two point game, if they could just take care 81 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: of the basketball, chances are they're going to make a 82 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: couple of free throws and win game. Obviously, Yukon was 83 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: complicit in Duke's demise, but Duke's demise regardless of who 84 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: the coach is makes most college basketball fans, myself included, smile. 85 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: Did you feel sorry for the Boozer boys? With tears 86 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: in their eyes? They look like Tiger Woods? Any sorrow 87 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: for the Boozer boys? 88 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: I mean it. 89 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: As a human being, you feel bad for anybody. I 90 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: have no reason to dislike the Boozer Boys. You know, 91 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: you feel bad for kids in that moment. But that's 92 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: part of what makes the tournament so special, right, yep. 93 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: They're sixty eight teams, only one can win. You get 94 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: great teams and great players that fall short. I wouldn't 95 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: say I felt sorry for them, but I could empathize 96 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: with them. 97 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 4: Right. 98 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: We've all seen our team lose games like that, and 99 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: we feel bad for the players involved. And so I 100 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: guess on some human level it was easy to at 101 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: least relate to the Boozer Boys. 102 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: Well it was, and at one point Yukon had missed 103 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: seventeen of the first eighteen to three pointers. There were 104 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: one and seventeen from threes, and they won the game. Now, 105 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: let's talk about the important stuff, which is a Cincinnati 106 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: reds tonight. Back at it again. Pirates in town. Not 107 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: sure if Paul Skins is going to pitch on Wednesday. 108 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens down the road. What do you 109 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: take away from that three game series. 110 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: That they won a game yesterday in fashion that they 111 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: had a hard time winning last year, which is, we 112 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: need a three run homer. Here's the guy we got 113 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 2: to go hit three run homers for us, and he 114 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: hit one. I mean that was I think that was 115 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: the big takeaway. I think Rhet Lauder did a nice 116 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: job of keeping them in the game. I think where 117 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: the Reds bullpen is is kind of interesting right now, 118 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: because you know, Amelio Pegan blew a save on Saturday, 119 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: had a shaky ish ninth inning yesterday. Tony Santien's velocity 120 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: is down. Thank god for Connor Phillips on Saturday. But 121 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: I guess if there were a couple of Macro takeaways, 122 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: one would be they got a Eugenio Suarez for one 123 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: specific reason to hit the ball out of the ballpark. 124 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: And I think specifically to hit the ball out of 125 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: the ballpark in moments like yesterday's, moments like the one 126 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 2: that he came up in on Thursday on Opening Day, 127 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 2: and unfortunately he didn't get the job done in the 128 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: sixth inning. 129 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: But that's why they got him. 130 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: Last year, this team struggled to get the long ball, 131 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: struggled to get the three run homer, and frankly struggled 132 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: to score runs without the homer. 133 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: They were kind of a league average offense. 134 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: If you can get if you can get a full 135 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: season of Ellie de la Cruz, a healthy Ellie dela Cruz, 136 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 2: I think that's good for twenty five to thirty homers. 137 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: Sal Stewart I believe is going to be good for 138 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: somewhere between. I'll say twenty five and thirty homers. Uhaneo 139 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: Suarez hit forty nine last season. I'd be willing to 140 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: bet he's not going to hit forty nine, but okay, 141 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 2: he hits thirty five, and that's a fourteen. 142 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: Home run reduction from last year. 143 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 2: If you can go three four five with that sort 144 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: of power boost, and then you're getting more production from 145 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: the two hole with Matt McClain, which they're getting so 146 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: far this year, then I really feel like this offense 147 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: can can take off. We didn't see it at its 148 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: best this weekend, but they still found a way to 149 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 2: win two out of three. 150 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: Got off to a good start. 151 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: The headline was a Euhanio yesterday, and I think the 152 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: larger headline for the three games has been the hitting 153 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: of Sal Stewart. And I think you and I talked 154 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: about this a couple of weeks ago. I'm so excited 155 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: for Sal Stewart. By the way, I bet on him 156 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: plus eleven hundred to be National League Rookie of the Year. 157 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: Those odds are down to plus four hundred and ninety. 158 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: But everything they've asked him to do. They called him 159 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: up last year later than they probably should have, and 160 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: they threw him into a playoff push, and the dude 161 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: hit five homers. Certainly didn't look like in the playoffs 162 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: last year, like the stage was too big. They tell 163 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: him this offseason, you gotta drop some weight, gotta slender up, 164 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: and need you to work on your defense at first base. 165 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: He does that. He shows up at spring training, and 166 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: I think we all believe that Sal was gonna make 167 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: the team, but the message is, hey, his roster spot 168 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: is not guaranteed. 169 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: He's got to make the team. 170 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: Made it with flying colors, did nothing but hit, and 171 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: so far here early he's done nothing but hit. I 172 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: love them, and I love the fact that they hit 173 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: him fourth. I love the fact that they've given him 174 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: a level of protection hitting in front of a Euhanio 175 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: Soarez but behind Elie Dela Cruz. He played third base yesterday, 176 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: so they're obviously not closed minded to the idea of 177 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: moving him around the field when they have to. I 178 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: think the key, the two keys to this team are 179 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: Matt McLain and Sal Stewart, and the early returns have 180 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: been excellent. 181 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: What's his natural position? Does he have one? He almost 182 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: has that Chris Sable look about him a little bit, 183 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: don't give a crap attitude. But what's South Stuart's natural position? 184 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: If he has one, Well, it's interesting. 185 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: I think you find a lot of people who will say, 186 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: we're not sure what that is. He played a lot 187 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: of time at third base, He's played some time at second, 188 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: He's he's played some time at first. I think if 189 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 2: I think, what's interesting to me about the construction of 190 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: the Reds, Willie is they have a great defensive third 191 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: baseman in key Brian Hayes, who has no peer at 192 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: the position, but he doesn't hit at all. 193 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: They bat him ninth for a reason. 194 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 2: He is a below league average hitter, and so I 195 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: think one of the questions for this team is can 196 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: you get by with below league average hitting from a 197 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 2: position that you typically associate with offense. Now, Key Brian 198 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: Hayes is here for the long haul. He signed for 199 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: the rest of the decade. But what I think is 200 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: interesting is does the lack of offense at third base 201 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: end up being a hindrance to the team being what 202 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: it should be offensively? What level of offense will they 203 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 2: put up with knowing they're going to get a great club, 204 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: And is there a world where they go, look, we 205 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: get it, Key Brian Hayes could play third base, but 206 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: we need a little bit more punched third. That's where 207 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: Sal Stewart goes. And then, okay, who's gonna play first base? 208 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: Do they move Spencer steerback? There is there a world 209 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: where Christian and Carnassian Strand gets another chance. Nathaniel Lowe 210 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 2: made the team, but I think the answer is where 211 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: he's probably most comfortable is going to be third. But 212 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: they like Key Brian Hayes there and so they tried 213 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: to use him at first. I think so far the 214 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: returns have been okay. I don't think anybody would be 215 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: surprised to see stal get a lot of different reps 216 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: at a lot of different positions. But at the end 217 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: of the day, as long as that dude's bad as 218 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 2: in the order, I'll put up with whatever he does 219 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: defensively because I think the guy can do nothing but hit. 220 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: Look at this way, the first five FREEDO pretty good. McClean, 221 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: McLain might be, I don't know, he is, MVP numbersus. 222 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: Elie Dela Cruz is the most talented player maybe in 223 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: all of baseball. How about calling Sal? Just call Sal 224 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: and he's uh, he's remarkable. Then gino that that five 225 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: is not bad, that's pretty good. And then that's good. 226 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: That's good. And I'm thinking, Okay, who is a better 227 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: starting five in the National League than not maybe the Dodgers, 228 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: But they paid for other than that. I mean, I 229 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: like those first five players, mix and match and Frankcona. 230 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: I think Frankcona paid for his weight in gold when 231 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: he on the on the game on Saturday, I think 232 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: he won that game managing and I think yesterday he 233 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: managed that game in such a way to put you, 234 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: you know, in that position to win and then you 235 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: rely upon maybe if he relief, but nonetheless those to 236 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: start those five, I'm not sure there's a better five 237 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: hit or in the National League lined up one, two, three, four, five. 238 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 2: I don't know that i'd go quite there, because as 239 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: much as a juhanios Farez is welcome because of his 240 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 2: power bat, that's kind of all that he does. 241 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: Sal Stewart is a rookie. Matt McClain. 242 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: The early returns are excellent, but he is still coming 243 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: off a really down season. But I think the larger 244 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: point is Number one, they should hit more home runs. 245 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 2: And I don't know about you, but I think home 246 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: runs are good. I think number two. You know, the 247 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: Rats last season had the second worst production in all 248 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: of baseball from the two hole, and that's mainly a 249 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: reflection of the fact that Matt McLain wasn't very good. 250 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: I think we all like TJ. Frieda leading off. 251 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: If suddenly I can get the one two punch of 252 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: Friedol and McClain, where Ellie is batting more frequently with 253 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: guys on base, where Sal Stewart is batting with guys 254 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 2: on base, well, now you know I have a larger 255 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: likelihood of the beginning because I have more guys on 256 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: base and more guys who can hit home runs. That's 257 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: that's a good equation where I think the Reds can 258 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: get really interesting. Though, is I think understandably so, Tito 259 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: put the brakes on the running game last season. They 260 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: were a little bit more station in the station, and 261 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: so you take lack of home runs and lack of running. 262 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: It's hard to score a lot of runs when you're 263 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: having to string together three consecutive hits just to score one. 264 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: What I think would be interesting, and this sort of 265 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: revolves around a healthy Elie Dela Cruz. Do they run 266 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: a little bit more, do they put a little bit 267 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: more pressure on the opposing team's defense. We saw them 268 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: run the contact play with Matt McLean at third base 269 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 2: in the first inning on Saturday. If they can successfully 270 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: sort of straddle that line between aggressiveness on the base 271 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: pass and stupidity and they're getting more long balls, then 272 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: I think this offense can really take off, and I 273 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: think it's worth mentioning. You know, we talked all offseason 274 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 2: about how the Reds have to be better offensively. They 275 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: need a power bat, they need more home runs, they 276 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: gonna find more ways to score. All those things were true. 277 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: It's not like they had a league worse offense last 278 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: year they were fourteenth and run scored. 279 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: They just had times. 280 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 2: Last season felt stagnant, So I think there were a 281 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 2: few good signs this weekend. Number one, the Reds were 282 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: atrocious in extra inning games last season three and twelve, 283 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: so they've already won one third of the number of 284 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: extra inning games they won last season. That spoke to 285 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: how bad they were late in games. Offensively, they were 286 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: middle of the pack in one run games twenty two 287 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 2: and twenty two. I think this season they're either going 288 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: to be dramatically better in one run games or dramatically 289 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 2: worse one run game. So far two to zero. That's 290 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 2: a really good sign. And I'll tell you I thought 291 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: the story of the game on Saturday was the relief 292 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: work of Connor Phillips. 293 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 4: Yep. 294 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: If you remember last season in September, Connor Phillips was 295 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: awesome and he made a lot of us wonder is 296 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 2: that guy going to be the closer one day? He 297 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: had kind of an uneven spring. He was terrific on Saturday. 298 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: I think it is completely reasonable to wonder if, by 299 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: the middle of the season, is that the ninth inning 300 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: guy instead of Emilio Pagan. 301 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: Do you join me in saying Bob Huggins should have 302 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: his own statue outside of fifth third Arena. Hug's statue, 303 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: I think, what do you say? 304 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: I think the first thing that has to start is 305 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: the school needs to put them in their Athletic Hall 306 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: of Fame. 307 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: And I'm willing to donate one thousand dollars for the 308 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: Huggins statue. Tonya Benner puts up a thousand. What do 309 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: you say, Well, I'll start with this. 310 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: It's it's it's astounding to me that Bob Huggins is 311 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 2: not in UC's Athletics Hall of Fame, and u see's 312 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: Athletics Hall of Fame obviously covers a variety of sports. 313 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: Our friend and colleague Tony Pike went into it last year, 314 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: clearly deserving. Bob Huggins is in the Naysmith Hall of Fame. 315 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: He is in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Can you imagine? 316 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: Can you imagine? Let's just say, for instance, Joey Vado 317 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: gets to Cooperstown, which he will. Joey Vado gets to Cooperstown. 318 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: He's in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but he's 319 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: not in the Reds Hall of Fame, right, I mean 320 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: say that outlet it's it wouldn't make any sense. No, 321 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: So I think Bob Huggins is the second most significant 322 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: figure in U SEE basketball history. That is saying something. 323 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: I think enough time has passed. I think the beauty 324 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: of hiring Jared Calhoun is you know, I think Bob 325 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: Huggins and the school itself, the relationship has been mended, 326 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: but it hasn't been completely repaired. I think hiring Jared 327 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: Calhoun and Bob Huggins being there was significant. I think 328 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 2: a lot of time has passed since his coach. He 329 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: coaches last game in two thousand and five. So I 330 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: would start with as soon as possible, you put a 331 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: guy who I still believe when you say the name 332 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: Bob Huggins, you think of Cincinnati first, and when you 333 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: say Cincinnati basketball, he is one of the first two, 334 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: three four names you think of. Number one, he should 335 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame. He's in the National 336 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: Basketball Hall of Fame, He's in the Akron Hall of Fame. 337 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: There's no reason for Bob Huggins not to be in 338 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: the UC Athletics Hall of Fame. And I hope that 339 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: his presence at the Jared Calhoun press conference last Wednesday 340 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: would suggest that maybe something like that can have once 341 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: it does you want to put a Bob Huggins statue 342 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: outside Fifth third Arena. Look, there are a lot of 343 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: us and you Bob Huggins legacy at U. See, you 344 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: could argue is complicated, but there are a lot of 345 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: us who became UC basketball fans because of Bob Huggins. 346 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: I am one of them. I will acknowledge the man's faults. 347 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: I will acknowledge some of the things that a lot 348 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: of people didn't like, either about his tenure at UC 349 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: or about the way he ran his programs. But for 350 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: a lot of us, we came to the party and 351 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 2: became Bearcat basketball fans and remain so to this day 352 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: because of Coach Huggins. And so that's the sort of 353 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: figure that I think does deserve being honored in ways 354 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: that others aren't. And if that's a statue, if you're 355 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: throwing in a thousand dollars, you're only throwing in a 356 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: thousand bucks. 357 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: Well, I figured Tony's putting in a thousand. I thought 358 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: you put in a thousand. Tony Pike put in a thousand, 359 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: Austin put in a thousand. There's five thousand, right, there. 360 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: So wait a minute, I'm gonna put in this same 361 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 2: number as you. 362 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: Correct because you're a And by the way, I think 363 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: Bob Huggins is the Tiger Woods of UC basketball. 364 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 2: Okay, you know fine, but I mean you know that 365 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 2: that doesn't erase the accomplishments and doesn't erase what he 366 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 2: was able to do. Look, when when Bob Huggins lost 367 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: his job, my takeaway was, I think it's fair to 368 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: wonder if Bob needs help, and I hope he gets 369 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 2: it because that that guy's teams corney as this may sound, 370 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 2: watching his team's play gave me some of the happiest 371 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 2: moments of my life. And so Tiger Woods, a lot 372 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: of golfers will say the same thing. It feels like 373 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: it feels like Tiger needs some help if he gets it. 374 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: By the way, from everybody, from everybody that I have 375 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: talked to about Hugs is he's done a lot of 376 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: things over the last few years to kind of reconfigure 377 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 2: his life and make the right decisions. 378 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: And he seems happy and he looks good. 379 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: And so I fully believe that the school has welcomed 380 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 2: him back in the good graces of the U SEE community. 381 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 2: It's overdue, put them in the Hall of Fame. And 382 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: then if you're going to commission a statue, I'm all in. 383 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 5: You know. 384 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: I'm the kind of guy that believes we should recall 385 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: someone for the best things they've done, not for the worst. 386 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: May the worst being turred with their bones. May the 387 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: best live forever. Tiger Woods, Bob Huggins, they both belong 388 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: to the Halls of Fame.

I won't hold my breast, but thank you. 409 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm blessed America. It is Bob Huggins, the Tiger Woods 410 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: of UC Basketball. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred ww No, 411 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: Dave Keaton hit the music back at it again. We 412 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: never stopped. We simply continue picking up the pieces of 413 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: the weekends activities of one type or another, especially Red's 414 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: baseball thing. Mo laid it out pretty good. Pirates in 415 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: town tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday, Businessman Special, then go on 416 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: the road to Texas to play the Rangers, et cetera. 417 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: They could not except for the you know, there could 418 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: not been if somebody had said to start the season 419 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: the Red Lakes would be two to one, you'd say, 420 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: I'll take that. Red Sox one of the better teams 421 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: in the American League. And it's just wonderful the way 422 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: the new players are working and that stuff is very good. Secondly, 423 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: this morning, Scott Sloane had on one of the city 424 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: council members, and of course they will not hold the 425 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: mayor's feet to the fire because they're all running in 426 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: the same same Blue party, so they're not going to 427 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: talk objectively about the mayor as the mayor of our city, 428 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: the chief executive officer a strong mayor. According to one 429 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: or two mayors off you've recently spoken to, there is 430 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: a few days, a few events when the chief executive 431 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: officer of a city and the chief in a sense, 432 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: the chief law enforcement officer of the city, has got 433 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: to be physically present, if not physically present, for these 434 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: three or four events. You don't need the mayor anyway, 435 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: because you need the mayor not to cut ribbons, which 436 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: you have to appear, of all does quite well, or 437 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: to look like a metrosexual male, which he does quite well. 438 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: You need a mayor when difficult times arise. Would you 439 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: agree that's when you have to be physically present and 440 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: you can't issue a press release from five hundred miles 441 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: away and say that's leadership. Leadership happens when the crap's 442 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: hitting the fan. You want somebody in charge to be 443 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: in charge. You're hired to do the job. That's your job, 444 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: is the mayor. A strong mayor is to run the 445 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: city police department, the fire department, and you have to 446 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: be physically present for certain events because that's your job. 447 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: If he can't do the job, or don't want to 448 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: do the job, or it's inconvenient, then don't run for 449 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: the office and forget about being the mayor because it's 450 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: not important and not relevant. I'm told that Michelle Kearney 451 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: and Scottie Johnson essentially run the city anyway, and the 452 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: mayor's a figurehead, which we all know to be the case. 453 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: In fact, where did this guy come from? Beaver Creek, Ohio? 454 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: I don't mean to put down beaver Creek. I have 455 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: lots of great fans in beaver Creek, but that's not Cincinnati. 456 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: So he pops in gets elected clerk at courts all 457 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: of a sudden, because of the problems with PG Sittenfeld, 458 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: he's the mayor. Hell last year he couldn't smell mayor. 459 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: Now he are one, and so this guy is the 460 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: mayor of our city. If you look at your schedule, 461 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but when I schedule events 462 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: a few months in Evans, the first thing I check 463 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: out is what's going on? Could the Great America not 464 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: be here for Rent's Opening Day? I don't think so. 465 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: That's a major function of the station in the city, 466 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: and I want to be where the action is. I'm 467 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: hard to do that in a sense. I'm not hard 468 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: to be on today, which, of course I am not 469 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: much going on today, but when it comes to Reds 470 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: Opening Day, when it comes to the music Fest, of 471 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: the Taste of the October Fest, or blink, I need 472 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: to be here to talk about the events happening in 473 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: our city, would you agree? So when the mayor looks 474 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: at the schedule and there's about four or five events, 475 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: he's got to be physically present in case things go awry, 476 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: which in our city will happen quite often. And when 477 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: you look at the schedule at twenty twenty six, the 478 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: one that pops out like a sore thumb is Reds 479 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: Opening Day. Would you agree that Red's Opening Day is 480 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: a big event, might be the biggest event in the 481 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: city each year. So the mayor elects to go on 482 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: vacation during the Reds Opening Day. Of course, all hell 483 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: breaks Lucy. He calls in to Molly Lair at the 484 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: PR Department of the city and says hey, issue a statement, 485 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: but I don't care enough about the city or my 486 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: job to be present when a big event's going on. 487 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: Another big event might be the music Festival. I think 488 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: it was July twenty sixth of last year, and that'd 489 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: be a good time for the mayor to be present. 490 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: Those are the times you get paid. When all hell's 491 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 1: breaking loose, when the craps sit in the fan, that's 492 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: when the mayor needs to be present. Because we have 493 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: quote a strong mayor and music festival. Last July, the 494 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: mayor was gone, took off and came back a few 495 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: days later. Was all hell was breaking loose? And then 496 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: the taste of Cincinnati's another big event about four days 497 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: over Memorial Day weekend or october Fest the end of 498 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: September and maybe Blink this year. So look at your 499 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: schedule if you're the mayor and you want to show 500 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: leadership at critical times when things actually matter. Number one 501 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: is Opening Day, got to be present. Number two is 502 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: the music festival, in which a half million people come 503 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: to town over three or four days, and then the 504 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: taste of Cincinnati Memorial Day weekend. Not too many bad 505 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: things have happened there. There are lots of break ins, 506 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: things of that character. October, same thing, and maybe Blink. 507 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: You want to be present. Blink's kind of one of 508 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: those events that old white women go downtown and act 509 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: as if they're a relevant looking at the buildings with 510 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: flashing lights on him, going ooh ooh, that's Blink, look 511 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: at that woo. Got to be present, whatever the event is. 512 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: The captain needs to be at the helm during critical times, 513 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 1: when the ship's going toward the iceberg, the captain's got 514 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: to be there. We don't have a captain. The emperor 515 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: has no clothes. The city is run by someone who 516 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: looks the part, acts the part, but is not the mayor. 517 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: Lemon Kearney is the mayor, and she at least she's 518 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: a Cincinnatian. Scottie Johnson is backing her up, and at 519 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: least he's a Cincinnatian. After Pirival is not a Cincinnatian. 520 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: In fact, he was interviewing in Washington and the Biden 521 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: administration to leave. He wants to get the hell out 522 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: of here. If you're not going to do the job, 523 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: quit and go home and don't offer some lame excuse 524 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: that I want to spend time with my family. Well, 525 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: we all want to spend time with our family, right, 526 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: But when you're the mayor, it's your job to be 527 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: here during Opening Day and the music festival, and the 528 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: last few times the mayor has been gone a wol gone, 529 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: gone gone. And so why even bother being the mayor 530 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 1: when you simply cut ribbons and can't do the job. Secondly, 531 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: the five percent cut coming according to Brian Combs and 532 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: July first is the deadline the city departments have to 533 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: put in five percent cuts, including to the police division, 534 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: which would save millions of dollars. But at the expense 535 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: of public safety? Does it make sense to cut police 536 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: services when riots are taking place at the city on 537 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: a regular basis? I would think not. But the mayor 538 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: doesn't know, he's cutting ribbons, is not doing his damn job. 539 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: And this weekend, of course, we had the No King's Rally. 540 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't think the mayor was present for that either, 541 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: was he When? When did he deemed to come back 542 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: to the subjects is? Did he come back to Saturday night? 543 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: Sunday today? No one knows for sure. He might be 544 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: at work, he might not be. He shows up whenever 545 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: he wants, and he's not held to account by anyone 546 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: other than us on talk radio. I would note that 547 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: a mayor who has his car repossessed because he didn't 548 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: pay the note, it's no joke. You got to pay 549 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: your note at least once, maybe twice. How many major 550 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: cities have a mayor who doesn't show up for work 551 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: and secondly has his car repossessed. He's now in charge 552 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: of the finances of the city. For God's sakes, that's 553 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: a joke. We give eight million dollars plus the riverbend. 554 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: Do you think the symphony needs eight million dollars to 555 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: open up a new facility, which, by the way, is 556 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: under construction at the Riverbend site. I don't think so. 557 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: Did it make sense to pay the rioters from the 558 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: George Floyd Riots eight point two million? There's sixteen million 559 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: dollars right there, low hanging fruit. Supposedly the budget shortfalls 560 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: about thirty million. There's more than half of it right there. 561 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,719 Speaker 1: Is it a good use of your money in the 562 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: city to pay money to the symphony and the rioters 563 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: instead of to the police department? Man, I don't think so, 564 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: but that's that's kind of the way things happen. He 565 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: wasn't here. I assume for the activities of No Kings 566 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: over the weekend, and I have some research on that 567 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: available right here, says among the following, A network of 568 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: some five hundred liberal groups with an estimated three billion 569 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: dollars in annual revenues. Three billion in annual revenues is 570 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: behind the coordinated nationwide No King's protest on Saturday. Another 571 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: one's planned by the way, may first to be larger, 572 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: which includes communist groups are using the day to call 573 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: for a revolution. According to Fox Digital News investigation, the 574 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: flagship march is in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Indivisible a national, 575 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: well heeled democratic political advocacy group funded by billionaire George Soros, 576 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: by the Fort Foundation, by Ties, and by William and 577 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: Melinda Gates Foundation. The groups involved include, among others, the 578 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: Communist Party, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the Answer Coalition, 579 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: Code Pink, and more five hundred different groups. The annual 580 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,479 Speaker 1: income is three is three billion dollars. For those who 581 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: didn't go to Deer Park High School, that's three that's 582 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,959 Speaker 1: three thousand million dollars, three billion dollars. Posters read No Kings, 583 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: No War, Party for Socialism and Liberation, printed at the bottom. 584 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 6: Now. 585 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: I went by and attended a little bit to Madeira 586 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: rally and it was nice. It was orderly at the 587 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: railroad tracks there in Madeira. Mainly they were awfuls angry 588 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: white female liberals and their husbands or boyfriends, older white 589 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: males with ponytails. That's kind of the crew. And they 590 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: act as if they're important and relevant because they stand 591 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: on Miam Avenue as shouting slogans and asking people to 592 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: blow their horn. Though I think that group is Communists 593 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: know they're being used by these other left wing groups 594 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: to run an idea that somehow Donald Trump is illegitimate 595 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: after his first year in office, in somehow he wasn't 596 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: properly elected. They don't believe in the outcome of elections 597 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: unless they win. But make no mistake that the funding 598 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: of these groups three billion dollars across the country. Preparations 599 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: have been underway for months and the People's Forum calls 600 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: on many other left wing organizations to rally around the 601 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: events coming up on May one, which is Communistic Red 602 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: Day and the Freedom Road. Socialist organizations have previously led 603 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: aggressive demonstrations targeting everything that Trump does is wrong and 604 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: they want revolution in this country. So the useful idiots, 605 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: the awfuls being used by the left wing organizations, understand 606 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: what's happening and why you're being used and what is 607 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: the outcome of all that is to destroy the American 608 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: way of life. The funding comes from all these left 609 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: wing organizations like Joe Soros, funded by also by the 610 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party in China, to make it look as 611 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: if the election was stolen, that somehow Kamala Harris won. 612 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: And if the number is seven million, seven million turned 613 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: out nationwide. I think in Cincinnati there was about one 614 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: or two thousand in and around city Hall. Good friend 615 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: of mine sent a photo and showed me what that was, 616 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: and I looked at it. That's fine. You don't see 617 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: black folks in these organizations. You see left wingers generally older. 618 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: And these are the awfuls and angry white female liberals 619 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: along with their boyfriends or husbands with ponytails, who act 620 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: as if their life is important and relevant when it 621 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: is not. Wait, there were seventy seven million, I said, 622 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: seventy seven million of US voted for Donald Trump. And 623 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: if one tenth or less of that showed up organized 624 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: by leftist organizations unhappy about everything, from abortion to ice, 625 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: to the federal government to Donald Trump, to the military, 626 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: to the war, whatever it might be. You can always 627 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: call out the stormtroopers, well funded to act as if 628 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: it's a grassroots organization when it is not. Let's continue 629 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: with more. Where is the mayor? Where is Waldo? Where 630 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: is Aftab doesn't show up the work, wants to cut 631 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: police spending, doesn't do his job, shows up and says, 632 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I was on vacation with my family. Well, 633 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: no different than John Thun the US Senate, a leader 634 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: from South Dakota. John Thun is off vacation the next 635 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: two weeks. Again, when parts of homeland security are not 636 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: being funded homeland security during a war. The Democrats are 637 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: not funding homeland security during a war to cause as 638 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: much chaos as possible. And if that's the way the 639 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: country's going to operate from here on, I'd be shocked. Well, 640 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: let's face it, I've seen worse things. But they have 641 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: a mayor and others look upon you. I think it 642 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: makes one hundred and fifty thousand bucks a year, shows 643 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: up to cut ribbons, but is not there when he's needed. 644 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: And the voters of Cincinnati, I guess keep putting him 645 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: in power for God knows the reason. At least lemon 646 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: Kearney is a Cincinnatian and Scottie Johnson, but not have 647 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: to ad paraval came from nowhere going to nowhere, and 648 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: he's not doing his job. Those are the kindest things 649 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: I can say. Let's continue with more. Coming up. Next 650 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: to John Lott is the about criminal activity in Cincinnati 651 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: and the riots that took place here and more. Thank god, 652 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: more people were not injured. Police officers were injured by 653 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: the so called rioters after Red's opening day, and the mayor, 654 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: of course was on vacation. Twelve fifty five. Home of 655 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: Your Reds playing tonight starting about five point forty on 656 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: News Radio seven hundred WLW Billy Cunningham The Great America. 657 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: Of course, John Lott worked in the first ideation of 658 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. He's a great author. He's a researcher, 659 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: he's an analyst. He's looking at facts and figures, not 660 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: necessarily a media coverage of big events. He's got several 661 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: posting ones at New York Post. A great column there 662 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: about the Save Act and also about the arrest rates 663 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: have fell. What we caused People that do not report 664 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: crime much anymore. Plus he has to call them up 665 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago about the transgender mass shooting rate 666 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: and things of that character. And John Lott, Welcome again 667 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: to the Bill Cunningham Show. But first of all, let's 668 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: deal with the media mistakenly relies upon exclusively on the 669 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: number of crimes reported to police and doesn't look at 670 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: total crime data. Give you an example, they're in the 671 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: No King's Rally. There were thousands, if not hundreds of 672 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: thousands of crimes were committed in various urban areas, especially 673 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: Portland and LA and many other locations. There were crimes committed, 674 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: but few people were arrested. The rates rest have fallen, 675 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: but crimes are going up. So can you explain that 676 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: dichotomy first to the American people? 677 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 4: Right? 678 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 3: Well, you know, even if a police report wasn't made 679 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 3: in those cases so that it doesn't get into the 680 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 3: FBI crime database, you know, there may be somebody's windows 681 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 3: in their store was broken, or somebody's car was smashed, 682 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 3: or somebody was hit with one of the cement blocks 683 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,959 Speaker 3: that they were throwing. Those are all real crimes, even 684 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 3: if the police aren't recording those. And you know we've 685 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 3: seen this over time. I mean, during the Biden administration, 686 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 3: according to the Bureau of Justicatistics, we had the largest 687 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 3: percentage increase in felonious violent crime ever recorded since they 688 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 3: started recording. That data was a fifty nine percent increase. 689 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 3: At the same time, the FBI data on the number 690 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 3: of reported crimes, and people have to understand, most crimes 691 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 3: aren't reported to police. 692 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 4: In general. 693 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 3: Maybe about forty percent of violent crimes and thirty percent 694 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 3: of property crimes are reported to police. That fell by 695 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,959 Speaker 3: about eight percent. But if you're going to ask people, 696 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 3: do you care about total crimes or do you care 697 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 3: about just crimes reported to the police. My guess is 698 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 3: most people are going to care about what happens to 699 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 3: total crime. The most that may care about whether people 700 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 3: are reporting to police, But the bottom line is what's 701 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 3: happening to total And you know this last year, I 702 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 3: think when the data finally comes out in September, we're 703 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 3: going to see not only a record drop in murders, 704 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 3: we're probably going to see the lowest murder rates by far, 705 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 3: that we've ever recorded in US history. The previous low 706 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 3: was about four point five per hundred thousand, And my 707 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 3: guess is it's going to be someplace like three points 708 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 3: nine something per hundred thousand. And we're also going to 709 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 3: see a reversal of the trend during the Biden administration. 710 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 3: We're going to see a drop in total violent crimes, 711 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 3: a significant drop, and you know, to me, a lot 712 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 3: of it. You know, isn't just a coincidence that we 713 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 3: had this record increase in illegal aliens coming in during 714 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 3: the Biden administration and now under Trump, he's deporting a 715 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 3: lot of criminal aliens, and even the ones that they 716 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 3: haven't caught, they don't want to be deported. And how 717 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 3: do you keep off of being deported. You know, if 718 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 3: they get arrested, as soon as they get arraigned in 719 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 3: a county courthouse, the ice might be there to go 720 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 3: and pick them up and take them out of the country, 721 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 3: or if they get convicted, and so if they don't 722 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 3: want that to happen, one way to keep off the 723 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 3: police radar is to keep their heads down and not 724 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 3: commit too many crimes right now, So you're reducing crimes 725 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 3: not only for the ones that are deported, but also 726 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 3: the ones that don't want to get deported. 727 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: And so as a consequence, the commission of crime is 728 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: likely way up. Reportable crimes and arrest are way down. 729 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: This morning, I watched a lot of the morning talk shows. 730 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: It was about the largest peaceful protest this century occurred 731 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 1: with the No King's protest. And then I'm looking at 732 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: the headline last night of the New York Post headline 733 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: no Kings protests turned violent in Portland, LA and Dallas. 734 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: Is rally near mar Lago takes a bizarre turn, which 735 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 1: is the President's plane may have been subjected to some 736 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: sort of an attack, But nonetheless the headline No King's 737 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: demonstrations in Portland, Oregon got out of hand on Saturday 738 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: evening with protests are sporting gas, mass attacking police officers 739 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,919 Speaker 1: trying to control the crowd. So on one hand, we're 740 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: finding out from the mainstream media how peaceful this was, 741 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: but on the other hand, near a Post headline about 742 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: how violent, I'm looking at some of the video out 743 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: of LA and out of Portland. In Dallas, it's a 744 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 1: riot in which police officers were injured, some severely, and 745 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: the media tell us is one thing, but reality is another. 746 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,720 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, this has been going on for years. 747 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 3: I'm in the twenty twenty riots that you had you 748 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 3: had many billions of dollars worth of damage that was 749 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,879 Speaker 3: done to property. You had, you know, you look at 750 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 3: just something like the Lafayette Square riot right outside the 751 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 3: way House up in the summer of twenty twenty. You 752 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 3: had something like one hundred and fifty law enforcement officers 753 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 3: were injured. You had, you know, the church, the historic 754 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 3: church burned down. You had, you know, lots of other 755 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 3: damage that was done. In fact, they tried to scale 756 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 3: the White House fence. I mean people talk about insurrection. 757 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 3: They tried to scale the White House fence and Trump 758 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 3: was They had to take Trump into a secure area there. 759 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 3: But you know, that's down the memory hole as far 760 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 3: as the media's concerned. You had more officers by a 761 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 3: significant factor in You're there than you had in January sixth. 762 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 3: But you know, there were no arrests, no convictions that 763 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 3: occurred with the twenty twenty riot just for Lafayette Square 764 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 3: let alone, you know, nationwide, I think for all those. 765 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 4: There was something like six convictions or something. Yeah, all 766 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 4: the riots and the damage that was. 767 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: Done after Red's opening Day, which is to us like 768 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: a national holiday, that there were hundreds, if not one 769 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: or two thousand youths who kind of wild through the 770 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: seats at Cincinnati and went on for many hours. The 771 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: businesses were shut down at eight o'clock police said to 772 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 1: go home. Police officers were injured. There was numerous robberies 773 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: and thefts and breaking into cars and disorderly conduct, open 774 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: air drug use, and there was a total of seventeen 775 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: arrests when there was probably a thousand crimes being committed. 776 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: So the arrest are going down, but the commission of 777 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: crime is going up. I can't tell you how many 778 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 1: times outside of a sporting event the vehicles are broken into, 779 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: whether it's a soccer, football, basketball, baseball event, and car 780 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: owners don't bother calling the police. Here in Cincinnati, when 781 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: you call the police after fifty cars have broken into, 782 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: the nine to one one opera will tell you just 783 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: turn it into your assurance company. So those numbers never 784 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: hit the blotterer. And that's indicative of the problem. On 785 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: the one hand, we're being told repeatedly a crime is down, 786 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: crime is down. No, the reporting of crime is down, 787 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 1: the commission of crime way up, and nothing's going to change. 788 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: I have hopes in the future when we have maybe 789 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: ten to twenty million illegals not here, generally young males 790 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: who disportionately commit crimes, that that's going to have a 791 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 1: measurable impact. Possibly might be good, but nonetheless it might 792 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: not be. You also wrote about the Save Act, which 793 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: is saving our elections. You make some coaching points about 794 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: others so called democracies, when you have to show an 795 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: ID to vote and you have to regis to vote 796 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: by showing a better looking document. And so your point is, 797 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever going to pass John Lot 798 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: because John Thune in the Senate, it's never going to 799 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster, really doesn't have five Republicans 800 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: to support it. So the Republicans can't stay as one 801 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 1: where the government shutdowns ongoing adam finitum, and the Save 802 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: Act is going to be a casualty, in which case 803 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: our elections will continue to be unsecure. So tell the 804 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: American people the history of other Western democracies that have 805 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: at least an ID. And then also, I guess on Wednesday, 806 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: we're going to have arguments in the US Supreme Court 807 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: about the fourteenth Amendment, in which we have birthplace, we 808 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 1: have birth tourism. 809 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 4: Going to citizenship. 810 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so deal with those couple issues too. 811 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:16,839 Speaker 3: Right, well, I mean, with regard to requiring voter IDs 812 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 3: and proof of citizenship, I think people would be surprised 813 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 3: to see what an outlier in the United States is. 814 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 3: I mean, Democrats claim that this will particularly discriminate against 815 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 3: Blacks and Hispanics. Every country in Africa requires a voter 816 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 3: government issued photo ID to vote. They all require proof 817 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 3: of citizenship, or fifty one of the fifty four countries 818 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 3: in Europe in Africa require proof of citizenship in order 819 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 3: to register to vote. If you look at Hispanics, Mexico 820 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 3: requires a photo ID to vote and proof of citizenship. 821 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 3: The same types of rules that you have in the 822 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 3: same Act in terms of either a birth certificate or 823 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 3: a passport or there's a couple other pieces of identification, 824 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 3: but they're exactly the same as what's in the SAVE Act. 825 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 3: All South American countries require a government issued photo ID 826 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 3: to vote and proof of citizenship. You look at Europe, 827 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 3: there are forty seven countries in Europe. All forty seven 828 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 3: countries in Europe require a government issued photo ID in 829 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 3: order to vote national elections. You go and look at 830 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 3: proof of citizenship. Most countries in Europe forty three of 831 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 3: them kind of have these databases where they know who's 832 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 3: a citizen or not and they check against that to 833 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 3: see whether somebody is a citizen. France has rules similar 834 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 3: to what's being proposed in the Save Act, and there's 835 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,280 Speaker 3: seven states, by the way, that also already require proof 836 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 3: of citizenship for somebody to. 837 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 4: Register to vote. There hasn't been problems with those. 838 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 3: And then there's three other countries, including the UK, which 839 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 3: don't necessarily require that you have to have proof of 840 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 3: citizenship to register, except if it's requested by the government, 841 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 3: which they do randomly sometimes just to. 842 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 4: Check on people. 843 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 3: But you know, the thing is, when you look across 844 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 3: all these other countries around the world, this isn't controversial. 845 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 3: This is something that political parties across the political spectrum, 846 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 3: both the left and the right, support these types of rules. 847 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 3: You know, if it was something that discriminated against certain 848 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 3: types of voters, like poor or educated people, you would 849 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 3: think one party or the other that thought that they 850 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 3: would benefit from having more of those people vote would 851 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 3: step up and object to the rules that they have. 852 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 3: And yet this is something that's supported across the board. 853 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 4: You know, you. 854 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 3: Look at polling in the United States, The people who 855 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 3: most strongly support government issued photo IDs to be able 856 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 3: to vote are basically. 857 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 4: Low income people who have. 858 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 3: The least education, less in high school. 859 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 4: Or high school. 860 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 3: The people who are least supportive of it are people 861 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 3: who have went to graduate school. So you know, you 862 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 3: look at the surveys with regard to Hispanics or Blacks, 863 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 3: you have over like eighty four percent of Hispanics and 864 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 3: seventy six percent of Blacks support government issued photo IDs for. 865 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 4: People be able to go and vote. 866 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 3: They're the people, you know, the ones who were supposed 867 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 3: to be concerned about, you know. 868 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 4: People who have the least education. 869 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 3: They don't seem to have a problem with having a 870 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 3: government issued photo IDA to be able to go and vote, 871 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 3: maybe because they realize that every other aspect of their life, 872 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,879 Speaker 3: you know, even get government benefits, you have to have 873 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: a government issued photo ID to be able to go 874 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 3: and obtain that. So you know, it's it's basically well 875 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 3: educated liberals who don't think that, you know, other American 876 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,399 Speaker 3: citizens are smart enough to be able to even get 877 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 3: free voter IDs. 878 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: Oh, the reason Democrats fight so hard is because they 879 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,359 Speaker 1: know the under the blankets what's going on, and that 880 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 1: is that large numbers of people are voting illegally, generally democratic, 881 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: and then when to keep that going. You know, mail 882 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: in balloting in Ohio works, in Florida, it works, and 883 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: that is a lot of I think forty percent of 884 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 1: the ballots in Ohio are mailed in, as long as 885 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 1: you have a competent secretary of State, and we have 886 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 1: a good one right now, who, by the way, is 887 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: on military leave. He's been called that active duty. But 888 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 1: that's a different issue. There's a way of doing it easily. 889 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 1: But the flood the marketplace with a million or two 890 00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: million mail in ballots sent out will nelly without identifying 891 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: the person receiving them is a problem. And the reason 892 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 1: Democrats fight so hard. They benefit from it, and they 893 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: benefit from it because they know what's happening. In places 894 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: like Minnesota where you can show up, have no idea 895 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: at all, vote and bring seven people with you, call 896 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: the sponsor act. Seven or eight people can vote with 897 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,760 Speaker 1: no ID and then they go to polling place, polling 898 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: place to polling place and keep voting. Democrats benefit fight illegality. 899 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 1: That's why they do it. And now lastly, yeah. 900 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 3: You have a lot of countries used to have lacks 901 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 3: or rules similar to what we have in many states. 902 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 3: And then they discovered that there was a lot of 903 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 3: fraud that was going on and they moved away from it. 904 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 3: And as I say, yeah, you look at Northern Ireland, 905 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:51,279 Speaker 3: for example, Margaret Bacher, a conservative, originally put in ID requirements. 906 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 3: It was discovered that they were counterfeiting IDs, and so 907 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 3: Tony Blair, whose labor, went and passed a law that 908 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 3: created tamper proof government issued photo IDs for people to 909 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 3: be able to vote. You know, about a decade afterwards, 910 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 3: when kind of the statute of limitations for committing crimes 911 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 3: were over, people in the media and academics interviewed people 912 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 3: with the IRA and other groups in Northern Ireland and 913 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 3: they basically bragged about the fact that they had whole 914 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 3: fleets of taxicab drivers they would go and take people 915 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 3: from one polling place to another, and how they would 916 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 3: go and just make up voter registration for people based 917 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 3: on fake IDs. They had printing presses that they had 918 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 3: in order to do that. You know, you look at 919 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 3: a country like France, for example, they used to have 920 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 3: absentee ballots similar to what we have in many states 921 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 3: in the United States. 922 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,319 Speaker 1: And tell. 923 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 3: And the thing people have to understand is that it's 924 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 3: often very hard to find out about vote buying and 925 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 3: fraud because because both the buyer and the seller of 926 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 3: the votes have an incentive to hide the fraud that's 927 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 3: occurring there. And you know, in France, it was only 928 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 3: discovered because some people who were involved basically had guilty consciences. 929 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 3: Apparently a lot of the mafia there had been literally 930 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 3: creating several hundred thousand in valid votes each year in elections, 931 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 3: and a couple of people basically had a guilty conscience 932 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 3: and went to prosecutors and it's the only reason why 933 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 3: they discovered it, otherwise would have kept on going. But 934 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 3: that was back in nineteen seventy five. And the other 935 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 3: thing just to point out is that when countries have 936 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 3: adopted stricter rules to stop fraud, the actual rate that 937 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 3: people voted increased. In Mexico in the three presidential elections 938 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,760 Speaker 3: prior to their nineteen ninety one reforms where they banned 939 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 3: absentee ballots and we're not talking about even the mail 940 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 3: in ballots that you were talking about, but they banned 941 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 3: absentee ballots required a government issued photo ID to be 942 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,880 Speaker 3: able to go and vote, required proof of citizenship for 943 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 3: people to go and register. In the three presidential elections 944 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 3: prior to ninety one, they had a fifty nine percent turnout. 945 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,359 Speaker 3: In the three presidential elections after nineteen ninety one, they 946 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,360 Speaker 3: had a sixty eight percent average urn terms of voting. 947 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: You know, we have to write thought that they're. 948 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 3: Votes mattered, that they actually were counted, that there was 949 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 3: a fairer election, they were actually more interests in participating in. 950 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,359 Speaker 1: The process, John Lot. The raison Democrats want to keep 951 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: it is because they benefit by the cheating, and they 952 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: want to keep cheating and win elections. That's the dirt 953 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: little secret. Later on, next time I have you on, 954 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,399 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the fourteenth Amendment. Don't have the time 955 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: right now, but in subjects of the jurisdiction thereof I 956 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 1: think they eighteen sixty eight a specific idea in mind, 957 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: but that's for another doctor, John Lott.

I don't know, at 1185 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 1: least in our lifetimes. But very Verry Larkin has won 1186 01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 1: m v P yes, World Series ring correct, Baseball Hall 1187 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 1: of Fame correct, Joey Vado has won one m v 1188 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 1: P right, no ring, No, And at this point he's 1189 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 1: not eligible yet, but he will be in the Hall 1190 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 1: of Fame. But he's an icon of Red's Baseball. And 1191 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 1: that Barry Larkin stands alone. Pete Rose from Cincinnati, right, 1192 01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 1: not in the Hall of Fame MVP All time hit leader. 1193 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 1: So Barry Larkin is the obvious next one.

CPD, Homeland Security, all the agency, Cincinnati Fire, 1291 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 5: Hamilton County Sheriff, they're all activated that day to keep 1292 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 5: us all safe, especially in this you know, political turmoil 1293 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:18,519 Speaker 5: turmoil times, and they're looking at real issues and it 1294 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:19,560 Speaker 5: went off flawlessly. 1295 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 4: Sometime. 1296 01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,040 Speaker 5: Backtracking it all now, sometime I guess three point thirty 1297 01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:29,799 Speaker 5: four o'clock, there was some kind of unpermitted party somewhere 1298 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:34,760 Speaker 5: close to Washington Park and they wind up shutting down 1299 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 5: Washington Park.

We're all 1328 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 5: communicating all the way through. And we spent the money 1329 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 5: years ago, three or four years ago now on having 1330 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 5: lights down there that you can raise. 1331 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,840 Speaker 4: But also remember this actually started. 1332 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,640 Speaker 5: When it was still light outside, so we have a 1333 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 5: sound system down there. We turned off all the outside speakers, 1334 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:49,000 Speaker 5: had all had everybody turn off their outside speakers, all 1335 01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,360 Speaker 5: the individual establishments down there. And this wasn't just a 1336 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:57,639 Speaker 5: here's what's happening. It was worked through the whole time. 1337 01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 5: We were trying it, and the police were trying every 1338 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 5: level they could to calm the situation down in various measures, 1339 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 5: and ultimately, you know, they said, hey, we're going to 1340 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,400 Speaker 5: go ahead and take over the playaza area and see. 1341 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,840 Speaker 4: If that'll kind of stop things. Well, you know, there 1342 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 4: were so. 1343 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 5: Many I think it's safe to say that every public 1344 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 5: space that day was an issue, whether it's Small Park, 1345 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:30,920 Speaker 5: Washington Park, right, Fountain Square, you know, the banks, you 1346 01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 5: know that area. 1347 01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 4: It just you know, it wasn't good. 1348 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,600 Speaker 1: Why and why did this happen? Was it preventable? Was 1349 01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:41,520 Speaker 1: it predictable? 1350 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,120 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think some of the things that 1351 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 5: I keep on hearing about is, Okay, you guys should 1352 01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,000 Speaker 5: have went twenty one and over, you should have had 1353 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,240 Speaker 5: a curfew. Well, curfews don't happen till nine or ten 1354 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,639 Speaker 5: o'clock the night. This was seven, eight, nine o'clock. First 1355 01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:02,520 Speaker 5: and foremost. Secondly, if you want to major a major catastrophe, 1356 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,559 Speaker 5: try stopping forty thousand people coming out of the Great 1357 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 5: American Ballpark to try to check their IDs, yeah, to 1358 01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 5: try to come into the bank's area. 1359 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 4: Can't do it. You know, this city has. 1360 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:18,160 Speaker 5: Obviously had that, you know issue before, not going to happen, 1361 01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,320 Speaker 5: not going to do it. So I think that everything 1362 01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 5: that normal people planned for and got in front of 1363 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 5: was accounted for that day. 1364 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:30,919 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, you know, we didn't. 1365 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 5: Account for you know, these kids to be out and 1366 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 5: running a wild throughout the streets. You know, let's say 1367 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,760 Speaker 5: that they feel like they have no ramifications. 1368 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,639 Speaker 1: None, whether there are none. In fact, that juvenile court 1369 01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 1: judge Kerrie Bloom, I assume you don't know her, but 1370 01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,519 Speaker 1: she gave a comment or two in which she said 1371 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,240 Speaker 1: that she thought everything went well. It wasn't the kids, 1372 01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 1: it was somewhere else. And she took no responsibility for 1373 01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:55,720 Speaker 1: giving rapists. So you're going to be a fifteen year 1374 01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,200 Speaker 1: old rapist in Animlin Accounty and get a book report. 1375 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 1: That's a problem. And she doesn't lock up anybody. We 1376 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,879 Speaker 1: had a good judge and judge, really. 1377 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 4: Really, I just try to get people fat and drunk. 1378 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 4: All that stuff is. 1379 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,840 Speaker 5: Way above what's above my pay grade, you know, you know, 1380 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 5: and I understand it. I think it's so complex, right, 1381 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:25,080 Speaker 5: now on what is happening and how you attack this problem. 1382 01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 5: You know, I assume that that's what they're doing right now, 1383 01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 5: you know, emulating a planned looking at it and saying, 1384 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,439 Speaker 5: you know, it didn't work, looking at it and saying, hey, 1385 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,759 Speaker 5: here's here's what's But you know, this was a pretty 1386 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:40,920 Speaker 5: unique situation, and. 1387 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,960 Speaker 4: You know, I think the Mayorge statement. 1388 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,479 Speaker 5: Spoke for itself, and hopefully administration is going on about it. 1389 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:47,840 Speaker 4: You know. 1390 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:53,120 Speaker 5: The hard part for us again was you know, being 1391 01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,719 Speaker 5: inside the grail and people are having a blast. 1392 01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:00,200 Speaker 4: You were there is even going on, no idea what 1393 01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:01,040 Speaker 4: was going on outside? 1394 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 1: What happened to a well you told at eight o'clock 1395 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,439 Speaker 1: to send your customers home. At what point were you 1396 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,160 Speaker 1: told you bing go home? 1397 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 5: Well, they started giving us options and ultimately I think 1398 01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,719 Speaker 5: we wound things down about nine nine point thirty. 1399 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 4: We you know, we had a process. 1400 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 5: The prow game was still going on, and we would 1401 01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 5: turn you know, we had a DJ going.

So ultimately, do we kick people out, 1405 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,680 Speaker 4: you know, but do we make it? 1406 01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:35,240 Speaker 5: You know, a pretty an environment where Okay, hey, it's 1407 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 5: time to go home instead of turning it into you know, 1408 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 5: the party, if you will, and folks just started kind 1409 01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:42,559 Speaker 5: of peeling out of. 1410 01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 1: Then are you concerned about the next big event? 1411 01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:50,480 Speaker 4: Well, and here's you know where I'm at. 1412 01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:55,600 Speaker 5: I understand everything, and Crystal clear we've lived in downtown Cincinnati. 1413 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,720 Speaker 5: But you know, the Reds just had one hundred and 1414 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:03,160 Speaker 5: ten thousand people over three days.
